"If you can dream it, you can bring it to life."
I'm a self-taught photographer from Detroit. My love for photography began at just two years old, when my late father gifted me my first Polaroid camera. Long before I ever considered photography as a career, I was simply drawn to the magic of making an image. I photographed with my cell phone, rented cameras while in college, and found myself returning to photography again and again. It was a hobby that gave me something I deeply valued: peace.
It wasn't until 2020, during the pandemic, that I began taking photography seriously. I wanted to create something positive during a difficult time, giving family and friends a safe way to get out of the house while creating photographs and memories they could hold onto.
That experience changed the way I saw photography.
Today, I create images with intention. I'm drawn to emotion, movement, personality, and the little moments.
Although I am self-taught, my work has gone on to receive recognition through awards, exhibitions, publications, and five-star client ratings. But the part I'm most proud of is the trust people place in me.
I take my work seriously. I am patient and invested in the experience from beginning to the end. I want the people I photograph to feel seen, comfortable, and FREE to themselves.
Intentional.
Human.
Unforced.
Story-driven.
